New Music News

There's so much new music news there's no way anyone can keep track of it all but we can try!

These are just a couple note worthy music-news-stories from this past week that I caught which you might have missed.

They Might Be Giants released their 16th full length studio album, Nanobots on Tuesday!
The Two-time Grammy Award winning Brooklyn based band best known for their otherwise kooky style of alternative rock return with electrifying pop melodies and lively lyrics on 25 brand new tracks.
 Created at the private studio of T.M.B.G's  long time producer Patrick Dillett (St. Vincent, David Byrne, Mary J. Blige), Nanobots is now available digitally, physically and streaming-ly!


M.I.A is back in action! 
Earlier this week the brash West Londoner released a streaming Kenzo collaboration mixed-tape of her 4th album, Matangi
 The snippet is bali-rockin' with world beats, heavy dropping bass, a (surprising) absence of fog horns and expressing her self confidence through F-Bombs, I'd say M.I.A is ready for this album to be released already!
Matangi will be available April 15th!



We may be moving closer to a Brittany Howard/Jack White collaberation...


On Monday, Third Man Records shared an exclusive cover of Rodriguez's "I Wonder" b/w  "When My Man Comes Home" by of two of modern music's front women Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard and Ruby Amanfu.

Pre-order the 7" single here, it's available March 12th.




As of March 5th, Welcome to Oblivion, the new album from How to Destroy Angels (Trent Reznor & Mrs. Trent Reznor's band), is available to buy and listen to for free




 

On Thursday hip-hoppy violinist  Emily Wells announced her next tour which includes a stop at SF's very cool, new venue, The Chapel
Emily's trip-hop acoustics and soulful attitude will blend beautifully with the vibe of this intimate venue on June 14th.
